is quite serious: This is the correct choice. The idiom "he means business" expresses that someone is very serious about something or "isn't joking around".

has financial backing: "Financial backing" refers to financial support or "capital".

For example: Bruno has the means to invest in several promising corporations if he chooses to do so.
is a cruel businessman: In the expression "I think he means business", "means" is being used as a verb and not as an adjective. As an adjective, "mean" can in fact refer to being "cruel" or "wicked".
is well connected: The expression "I think he means business" does not refer to being well connected, or having a network of contacts.
